of IGOs that had sought protections for their names and acronyms in the domain name system. Also attached is a July 2016 memorandum prepared by IGO representatives who had attended the GNSO’s IGO-INGO Curative Rights PDP Working Group meeting at ICANN56 in
Helsinki – this memo was sent to the Working Group for its discussion upon its initial receipt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
